The Used Car Industry In UK Generated GBP 273 Bn Revenue In 2021 With A Few Players Dominating The Market - Ken Research

Emergence of Multi-brand showrooms, Product Innovation & New Business Models are some of the new trends in the UK Used Car market

Social Media Dominance:  The UK Used Car Market is almost entirely dependent on social media. Car dealers use blogs to generate traffic to their website from search engine results pages. They often put up educational content related to cars maintenance, help guides, knowledge material in order to create a brand presence which helps them in the long run. Moreover, unlike online portals and market places, social media provides an opportunity to dealers to advertise their cars for free which in turn increases their profit. Social media platforms like Facebook is also used by individuals involved in C2C purchases. Also, major dealerships use this platform to announce promotional offers and local events which increases their popularity among the masses.

Mid-age Popularity: According to the analysis, individuals in the age group 30-60 acquired almost 61% of the used car sales volume. The demand is basically fuelled by the consumers not wanting to buy new cars due to several factors, including the cost of licenses, and the decline in the vehicle's value once they are licensed. It is to be noted that younger generation (18-30) accounted for 34% of the used car sales volume while the older generation (>60) accounted for only 5% of the sales volume.
